The representatives of German Cost Guard
come on board of our vessel, which was

Staying at the outer roadstead of the port
of Bremen and accused us of sea pollution

With oil products. The accusation is
grounded on the verbal information of the Pilot

Of the privet helicopter. Who sighted an
oil slick at a distance of 3 miles down the river.

However oil slick was not sighted along my
vessel’s sides. Inspection of entries in the

Engine Record Book also showed that our did
not discharge any oil products while

Visiting German territorial waters. The accusation
of violation of the International Convention

MARPOL was rejected by me. I ask you to
arrange survey of my ship by independent surveyor

And note the sea protest right after my
vessel arrival?, and also inform the consulate about it.

Port of Rangoon

Birma

Dear Sirs,

In connection to you claim about alleged
saving of our ship with two tugs of your port during

Refloating of my vessel and towing her to
the port 21 this month. I would like to inform you about following.

I have to reject your claims concerning
the payment for the saving of our vessel, as there as no such

Service for my vessel and no appropriate
documents was signed. I ask you to bear in mind, that nobody

Offered my to sign a Lloyds Contract of
salvage during the above as sinking was not threatening to our vessel. I think
that refloating effected by the tug was Port Authorities duty, that is why I
agree to pay for usual expenses for towing if you produce me an appropriate
dill for the effect work.

Truly
yours

Master
of m/v A.

Dear Sirs,

Regarding to the damage to the propeller. My
vessel B. From Baltimore was

Drifted by wind while the maneuver entering
the lock, December 10, this year.

At that time the stern tug let out the
howser, which winded on our screw and broke it.

Our vessel has general cargo on board,
including deck cargo. I had to take away a part of

The cargo, order a diver for the inspection
of the damage, then the vessel was towed into the

Dry-dock. I will repair the vessel in the
port and send a cost, which your company must pay

To my ship owner for the damage to the
vessel caused in consequence of the tug, and also

For the discharging or part of the cargo.

To Port Master, Port of Glasgow

Dear sirs,

In reply to your injury I beg to inform you
the following.

In connection with the necessity of
shifting of my vessel to №5 pier for loading

I ordered two port tugs, according to the
local rules. However one of the tugs arrived with the

Great delay. Moreover, the tug line parted
twice and it was to be substituted.

That is why the shifting took much time and
finished late in the evening.

In view of the said above I refused to pay
fine for alleged using of the pier over the

Established time.

In reply to your letter of 5, this month regarding
the towing of my vessel while

Proceeding out of your port, I would like
to inform you the following.

As I was sailing out of the port in day-time.
I ordered only one tug, what

Is allowed by local rules of your port.
However two tugs arrived at the indicated

Time, that is why I had to refuse from one
of them. Consequently,

the assistance was effected by one tug ,
which Master can confirm my statement.

In connection of the said above I refused
to pay your bill for the help of two tugs.

Dear Sirs,

I regret to inform you, that I consider the
claim concerning the damage, received

By your tug on 23rd, March, this
year groundless. I ordered only one tug to pass

Trough the lock, leading to the south dock.

In the order from delivered by your representative
officer I indicated that I need

Only one tug signed an appropriate order.

Dock pilot, who was on board of my vessel
at the time also said, that vessels

Usually order one tug to pass this lock and
he did not offer me to take a second tug.

Master of the tug was operating at his risk,
that is why he is the only who is responsible

For the received damage.
